I understand your bitterness and where it comes from all too well. Things can seem hopeless in the face of a mindless tech onslaught driven by greedy and ruthless hypercapitalism.

Yet the arguments, generalizations as they are, just don't hold sway.

Take for instance the majority of Fediverse projects.. they are on Github. You are using one right now :)

@humanetech@mastodon.social @blacklight@social.platypush.tech @ArneBab@rollenspiel.social I don't judge a product by who made it. People with a bad moral compass accidentally do good things, and software itself isn't political. I think #Misskey would do well by not depending on #Github, but I'm not going to use Github to tell them that.

Also note that the greedy and ruthless hypercapitalism only works if enough people support it. Github only "works" because the vast majority of its users have no moral compass and just want things for free, without thinking about the impact their actions have.
